Website Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 18, 2018

From the time I started out as a violin maker in 1985, I have kept a paper record of names, addresses and telephone numbers of customers and potential customers, as well as where we met and what type of instrument people play. Email addresses are now part of that list. I have always endeavoured to conduct my life, and my work, in an honourable, honest, appropriate and respectful manner. Part of that has been, and continues to be, treating other people’s instruments and their information appropriately, carefully, and not giving any such information to anyone else.

Because of the complexity of computer-based information transfers, and the questionable practises of some companies and individuals, it is now necessary to have a more detailed privacy policy for the internet, so here it is :-

Privacy Policy for my website, https://williamcastle.co.uk

 

Your Information

Cookies

I do not use any marketing, tracking, or analytical cookies. We only use two strictly necessary cookiesrequired for website security and basic operation:
  • __cf_bm (Cloudflare): This cookie is a necessary security measure managed by our hosting infrastructure. It helps identify and block malicious automated bot traffic to keep the website safe. It does not track users from site to site and expires automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity.
  • cookieyes-* (CookieYes): This cookie is used to store and respect your website consent and privacy settings. It ensures the site operates in compliance with privacy regulations.
Because these cookies are essential for security and website functionality, they do not require prior user consent under UK and EU privacy laws.

Any data you submit is transferred to the United Kingdom, where it is processed. If you live outside the UK, the data protection laws may be different from where you live.
